A trend we\u2019ve only seen intensify over the last few years..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet, despite the danger of persecution, artists around the world risk their lives, livelihood and reputation in the pursuit of artistic expression. Why? Because art communicates something even deeper and richer than the mere aesthetic experience: it communicates what it means to be human. The tradition of art and art making provides us with valuable insights into who we are, both as individuals and as a society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Signals&nbsp; show how artists develop ways to integrate messages, stories and ideas through their artistic practice. Clever and cunning attempts to avoid censorship or communicate messages that would otherwise risk intervention or censorship:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anne Samat, a contemporary sculptor from Malaysia, creates colourful totemic textile beings using a mixture of materials. She incorporates objects and symbols which communicate everything from queer culture to indigenous heritage. At the same time her works are exhibited in places and shown to people who represent regimes of censorship and xenophobia and who unknowingly are confronted with or maybe even celebrating pieces that represent the values they attempt to suppress.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Louise Xin, a Chinese-Swedish designer, uses her voice in fashion shows to criticise an industry from within for its massive role in harming the environment and threatening human rights. Through media coverage across the world her messages were exposed for those she criticises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Art thereby creates rooms for reflection: art exists in the cracks and openings where it encounters the world. It provides us with valuable insights into who we are &#8211; not only as individuals but also as a society. Artworks are produced by artists living in specific societal circumstances and therefore reflect the experience in society as an artist. Art has the capacity to penetrate beyond the boundaries of representation &#8211; to pinpoint what and who is behind or outside the frame.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How can we, as a society, consistently make sure that we retain access to these insights that art, and by extension artists, provide, when they are free to pursue topics and strategies that lie outside (or inside) of the mainstream?<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":1182,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_themes":[139],"class_list":["post-1179","insights","type-insights","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","_themes-artistic-freedoms"],"acf":{"signals":[{"ID":1161,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2021-12-16 11:32:20","post_date_gmt":"2021-12-16 11:32:20","post_content":"\"Some just want to make an affect.

The landscape of artistic freedom is very complex. It consists of human rights organisations that document abuse. Then there is the scientific research, e.g. Gothenburg's kulturanalys. Then you have the residency schemes - they play the role that on the one hand they host artists from other countries, but they also use them to make public talks. Then you have a political level: What do the individual countries do? The ministries and cultural councils. The institutions, such as the museums, which in many places experience threats to artistic freedom. And finally, the artist organizations.

They can censor at will. And pressures for them to do so are growing. Many of these pressures come from the liberal left, whose traditional support for free speech is wavering.  They are fueled by a rise in political discontent, which manifests as moral outrage. Social media, with their unprecedented mobilizing powers, amplify and give traction to outrage campaigns. And, since the quick-gratification logic of clicktivism does not allow for a depth of engagement, nuance, experimentation and ambiguity become liabilities. This may explain the paradox that the targets of moral outrage are often on the same side politically as the outraged. Artists and writers are sometimes intimidated into pulling their own work from public view and cultural institutions are yielding to the pressure of protesters \u2013 and censoring\" (Mintcheva, 2019)","post_title":"Can free speech survive the onslaught of moral outrage?","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"can-free-speech-survive-the-onslaught-of-moral-outrage","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-01-27 11:37:24","post_modified_gmt":"2022-01-27 11:37:24","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/anordic.org\/livingcatalogue\/signals\/all\/can-free-speech-survive-the-onslaught-of-moral-outrage\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"signals","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":1094,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2022-05-20 18:09:10","post_date_gmt":"2022-05-20 18:09:10","post_content":"COVID-19 has not only led to a global health crisis and severe economic consequences. Several international reports document how the pandemic has also led to new restrictions on freedom of expression for artists. The international rules tell us that some restrictions may be justified, but in most cases, the restrictive measures taken by governments globally are disproportionate and hard to justify. To avoid a new normal with additional restrictions, the report \u2018Critical Voices\u2019 recommends that the international community monitor the rollback of such illegitimate measures. The UN system provides tools to ensure greater transparency around such issues and hold states accountable. However, many artists are unaware of these tools or simply do not know how to use these tools. More needs to be done to raise awareness and build the capacities. A Danish initiative seeks to mobilize a new coalition of stakeholders who can lead by example and inspire other stakeholders to join. Stakeholders from Latin American countries have mobilized, and a calendar of work is in the making. The work plan will cover the period 2022-2027.

To this end, UNESCO has designed a draft survey with questions that relate to Member States' implementation of this legal instrument. The draft survey is structured around nine thematic sub-sections: 1) Legal and regulatory frameworks, 2) Fair remuneration and access to finance, 3) Social and economic rights, 4) Digital environment, 5) Preferential treatment, 6) Artistic freedom, 7) Equality, inclusion and diversity, 8) Responses to COVID-19 and 9) Challenges and needs. \r\n\r\nThe survey recognizes that artistic freedom comprises a wide range of fields, making it possible for States to refer to issues of artistic freedom across all nine sub-sections. Under the specific section on artistic freedom, States, as well as civil society organizations, will be asked to reply to questions such as: Are there any specific policies, legal and regulatory frameworks, measures and initiatives addressing artistic freedom in your country? All these questions are subject to final approval by the Member States before UNESCO can send the survey to the Member States and Civil Society Organizations. This implies that the questions are subject to negotiations between the Member States - between those who favour transparency and those who insist on national sovereignty.
